Commit Message

Variables declared in a switch statement before any case statements
cannot be automatically initialized with compiler instrumentation (as
they are not part of any execution flow). With GCC's proposed automatic
stack variable initialization feature, this triggers a warning (and they
don't get initialized). Clang's automatic stack variable initialization
(via CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL=y) doesn't throw a warning, but it also
doesn't initialize such variables[1]. Note that these warnings (or silent
skipping) happen before the dead-store elimination optimization phase,
so even when the automatic initializations are later elided in favor of
direct initializations, the warnings remain.

To avoid these problems, lift such variables up into the next code
block.

drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c: In function ‘drm_edid_to_eld’:
drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid.c:4395:9: warning: statement will never be
executed [-Wswitch-unreachable]
 4395 |     int sad_count;
      |         ^~~~~~~~~

That's not good, have you filed a bug against Clang yet?  It should at
least warn when the corresponding stack init flag is set.
